Key Features

HINCOL Polymer Modified Bitumen RW 4560 isn't just ideally suited for hot climates, but also satisfies the rising demands due to heavy vehicle and traffic volumes on today's roads and runways. This product is specially designed for Airport Runway and heavy duty applications and is already used in 3 major international airports in India. HINCOL Polymer Modified Bitumen is manufactured with a specially blended feed, making the binder homogenous and storage stable. It enhances the key properties of asphalt mixes, i.e. deformation resistance and fatigue life. These improvements are the result of three vital physical changes which the polymer makes in the conventional binder structure: reduced temperature susceptibility, increased stiffness modulus and enhanced elasticity
